Products Used Against Ebola

Proven Very Effective

Chlorine dioxide spray was even used successfully as a sterilizing agent in the fight against Ebola, and more recently against COVID-19. Scientific studies confirm that when it comes to bacteria, fungi, spores and viruses, “no organism tested against Chlorine Dioxide Gas has proved resistant” as detailed here;

Below is a summarized history of chlorine dioxide taken from Wikipedia:

Chlorine dioxide is used primarily (>95%) for bleaching of wood pulp, but is also used for the bleaching of flour and for the disinfection of municipal drinking water. The New York water treatment plant first used chlorine dioxide for drinking water treatment in 1944. Chlorine dioxide was introduced as a drinking water disinfectant on a large scale in 1956, when Brussels, Belgium, changed from chlorine to chlorine dioxide. Chlorine dioxide is used in many industrial water treatment applications as a biocide including process water and food processing. Chlorine dioxide is less corrosive than chlorine and superior for the control of Legionella bacteria. Chlorine dioxide is far superior to copper-silver ionization for Legionella control because unlike copper-silver ionization, chlorine dioxide is: 1) an EPA approved biocide, 2) not negatively impacted by pH and 3) does not lose efficacy over time because the bacteria grow resistant to the biocide.

It is more effective as a disinfectant than chlorine in most circumstances against water borne pathogenic microbes such as viruses, bacteria and protozoa - including the cysts of Giardia and the oocysts of Cryptosporidium.

It can also be used for air disinfection, and was the principal agent used in the decontamination of buildings in the United States after the 2001 anthrax attacks. After the disaster of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, Louisiana and the surrounding Gulf Coast, chlorine dioxide has been used to eradicate dangerous mold from houses inundated by water from massive flooding.

Stabilized chlorine dioxide can also be used in an oral rinse to treat oral disease and malodor.

following is an overview of some products available from this site.

WPS1 kit (Water Purification Solution 1):

The WPS1 kit consists of 28% sodium chlorite and 4% hydrochloric acid. The bottles have a flip-up dropper cap for measuring out the drops. The WPS1 and activator must be activated in a dry glass before adding to any water.
When mixed in equal amounts, chlorine dioxide is produced in just 20 to 30 seconds. This can be used for water purification or as a disinfection spray. The disinfection spray requires 20 drops of activated WPS1 in 50 mls of water. We also have 50 ml spray bottles available which are handy for household use.

The WPS1 kit is the most popular product (and most economical), and can be used to purify household tank water or even just water by the glassful. WPS1 can be used to purify water either activated or unactivated. Use at least 1 drop (unactivated) per 4 litres of water - leave for 24 hours.
For quicker purification, use 1 drop of activated WPS1 per 4 litres of water - leave for 2 hours.

WPS2 (Water Purification Solution 2):

WPS2 consists of calcium hypochlorite powder. When dissolved in water the calcium hypochlorite produces hypochlorous acid which will kill most known pathogens.

Add 1 gram of WPS2 to 50 litres of water, (dissolve in a small amount of water before adding to main supply). Leave water for at least 30 minutes before drinking. This will kill most known pathogens.

CDS (Chlorine Dioxide Solution):

Consists of chlorine dioxide gas (~3000 ppm) in distilled water. CDS is ready to use and doesn't require any activator.
Comes in a handy eyedropper bottle, and once opened should be stored in the fridge for best shelf life. Not as economical as the WPS1 kit, but is handy for some applications.
One ml of CDS is equivalent to 3 drops of WPS1.
Use 3 mls of CDS in 50 ml of water for the disinfection spray.
